Our friends from the Sabathani Horizons Youth Program emailed over the kids Christmas List before the Moody’s 24th Annual Holiday Party & Toy Drive. Don’t forget we are also attempting to help Domestic Abuse Project. Please review the list and help if you can!

On November 15th 2014, from 630-10pm Sisu will host the Brave + Beautiful Runway show as part of its one (1) year celebration. Sisu is an amazing boutique in Woodbury MN that aims to create a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. An atmosphere where women can relax and feel at home as they shop for a specific occasion or just because. So during the event laugh, be comfortable, have a good time… and when you post about it use their hashtags: #shopwithsisu #sisustyle.

Not only is it a great experience going through their website and learning about Sisu, it gets better as you read the details for the Brave + Beautiful Runway Show. As mentioned in the Facebook event; “Proceeds from event + raffle ticket sales will benefit Tubman a local non-profit that helps women, children and families struggling with relationship violence, substance abuse and mental health. (For more information on Tubman and their services, please visit www.tubman.org. )”. I am extremely excited to be a part of this event celebrating Sisu and supporting Tubman.

“Some might call it backbone, spunk, stamina, or guts. Whatever you choose to call it, sisu is a measure of integrity that surpasses the hardship and sees through to the end. It is an inherent characteristic or mindset that anyone can possess.” – Shopwithsisu.com

If you didn’t know about Sisu, now you know. When you get a chance explore shopwithsisu.com or visit the retail location below. Their hours are Monday- Saturday 10am – 7pm, Sunday 12pm- 5pm.
